Future plans for Chinese sediment methane hydrate and petroleum mining, as well as carbon dioxide sequestration, require credible environmental assessments to confirm that anthropogenic compounds released to shallow sediment and the water column during mining will not adversely affect food chain cycling. These seeps could also cause gradual geothermal warming and have a subsequent impact on platform or coastal stability. Conversely, it is necessary to determine that… Read more »

In The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013 By T. Boyd Carbon dioxide radiocarbon analysis has proved extremely useful in demonstrating on-site fossil fuel-derived contaminant remediation to a non-toxic end-product (CO2). At the North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego, CA (USA) fuel groundwater contamination assessed for source(s) and natural degradation with radiocarbon and stable carbon isotope analysis in 16 wells across a underground fuel contamination zone….
